Our family stay at Freedom Lodge on Summerfield Farm was absolutely perfect.As a tetraplegic due to a high level spinal injury It is rare to find accomodation that is completely suitable for my needs whilst still feeling luxurious and not too clinical. The decking with views over the fields to the Abbey and the coast is a big plus too.The lodge is incredibly well-thought-out, featuring ceiling-track hoists, profiling bed, and a spacious wet room that made daily care entirely stress-free.I only met Kara but she seemed really nice and the way the property is set up shows her and Ben truly understand specialist care needs, and have thought about everything.I cannot recommend this beautiful place enough and will definitely be returning!

Absolutely perfect place to stay when you have a special family member that cannot be accommodated easily elsewhere. Immaculately clean, incredibly thoughtful details. Info on disabled access and parking locally presented in a folder. The “little things” were provided to make our stay easier. wheelchair level dresser, all smart TV’s, shower chair and the back saving ceiling hoist in the bedroom! All the amenities and more. For us and our needs, the quiet and enclosed garden with picnic benches was ideal for Al fresco dining. The hosts were friendly and welcomed us like family without being intrusive and had a wonderful background in special needs to help should we need anything. A special place that we all enjoyed and highly recommend.

Wonderful break, accommodation was perfect. All our needs catered for, all disabled equipment on site, all which meant we could relax a real home from home for all of us. Beautiful location handy for travelling along the coast.

Such a beautiful country cottage with an abundance of equipment to meet the needs of any disability. Just a short drive from the main town of whitby making for a perfectly peaceful and relaxing break. Highly recommend

We had a fabulous week stay at Summerfield Farm. We were a group of eight people of all ages so we hired the two cottages next door to each other. The facilities were perfect for our family member with her wheelchair, with a great wet room and electric bed to really contributed to a stress free break. We also bought our three dogs too, who enjoyed the secluded garden area, lovely walks on the doorstep. Summerfield is a real home from home. So peaceful and relaxing and a great location to explore Whitby and the surrounding areas. Kara and Ben really work hard to provide a fantastic environment for all, we had a superb stay.

2024-08-02T18:12:16.000Z

Thank you Ben, Kara and boys for the most amazing accommodation. The facilities are outstanding and we couldn’t have asked for better. The accessibility of the cottage made the holiday truly wonderful. There are so many beautiful places around the area to visit that are accessible. We will definitely be back; no doubt at all. We cannot recommend Summerfield Farm highly enough.

2024-03-29T18:59:06.745Z

First class accommodation, friendly helpful people, couldn't do enough to make us comfortable. Highly recommended

We stayed in Albany Cottage for a family weekend to celebrate my wife's special birthday. Our family consisted of three generations and I had accessibility needs. The cottage was exactly as described and was totally accessible for me, which is not always the case for other 'accessible' locations. Ben & Kara are both friendly and helpful and try to offer anything that is needed to accommodate a disabled persons needs. The cottage was clean and nicely decorated and had everything we needed for a very enjoyable weekend although it rained throughout!Thank you Ben & Kara and we hope to return next year.

It’s been great to go somewhere assured that it’s properly accessible for disabled people. We stayed in Abbey View an accessible mobile home on site. It was well maintained, warm, with a good wetroom bathroom and other essential features. About a 20 minute drive from Whitby town centre this location is beautifully rural with views of the abbey but only minutes away from amenities and attractions. Hosts were friendly and attentive and we shall definitely be back.

2023-10-06T17:40:56.000Z

Ben and Kara what can I say just WOW!! Thank you for a fabulous 4 night stay everything was absolutely perfect, our cottage was so comfortable and had all the equipment to make our stay so relaxed, the perfect hosts with a complimentary bottle of fizz on arrival (ps I drank that lol) can’t wait to return and already looking at a few dates for 2024 take care Denise andrew lee Brian n Annmarie xx

Well appointed cottages, full access for people with disabilities. Very easy to get to Whitby or Robin Hoods Bay by road, public transport or even walking.

2023-08-11T07:28:20.000Z

Another fantastic week spent at summerfield farm. First time without Richard looking after us, he would be so proud of the work Ben and Kara have done in not only keeping the place on perfect condition but making us feel so welcome. Felt like we have known them for years, cannot recommend the place enough ! Just don't go booking up too much as we want to be able to come back !! Love u guys and love this little piece of heaven on earth x

We have just returned home from a lovely stay at the Albany cottage on Summerfield Farm. The cottage was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for a few days away. The disabled features were perfect for the requirements of a disabled member of our family group, making things much easier and more comfortable throughout our stay. Ben and Kara were very friendly and helpful both on the run up to our stay, giving lots of useful advice and tips via email, and during our stay. Nothing was too much trouble, and their knowledge of local amenities proved invaluable in our quest for decent fish and chips!! The accommodations was very clean, with good onsite parking and only a 5 minute drive from Whitby town centre. We will definitely be recommending Summerfield Farm holidays to our friends and family. Thanks again!

Thank you Ben and Kara! We had a great week in Scoresby Cottage. It was the best adapted cottage we’ve stayed in and we’ve tried a lot over the years. It was so easy with level access from the car park, a comfy riser recliner chair, electric bed and wet room. It made such a difference to be able to sit comfortably after returning from a day out. We found Whitby had lots of accessible walks including a cliff top walk from the Abbey - so unusual to be able walk along cliffs! The Abbey itself had good access too. We also enjoyed a lovely accessible walk through woodlands along a stream from Esk Valley to Beck Hole. Kara and Ben were lovely and so helpful. We would definitely recommend these cottages if you have mobility issues.

2022-10-18T19:28:58.000Z

Loved our visit - first time and had everything we needed. Will be back! So convenient for Whitby. Thanks Ben and Kara, lovely to meet Angus and Hamish too! 😍. Kirstin (pictured in Cholmley cottage) sends hugs.

2022-07-29T10:55:48.207Z

Thank you Ben and Kara for making us feel welcome. We have loved staying in Abbey View for a week. Waking up to the lovely view was amazing. I'm sure we will be back again.

2022-07-23T20:19:02.652Z

Highly recommended for the less able bodied. The facilities made our stay so easy for coping with a 75 year young brother-in-law/best pal!Thank you Ben an Kara for making our stay so enjoyable. We will definitely be back!

2022-07-23T20:02:33.000Z

Ben nd Kara are the most welcoming people you could hope to meet. They have worked so hard over the last 3 years since our last visit. We stayed in the Scoresby, as we did on our last visit, and the whole cottage was so much improved. They have listened and acted on everyone's suggestions for improvement. We have come home feeling so relaxed after a much needed break. Highly recommended.

2022-07-21T21:16:30.000Z

We stayed here for our service users holiday. We stayed in Cholmley cottage, which was beautiful! The downstairs bedroom was ideal for our service user that was in a wheelchair and required overhead tracking hoist. She was able to take herself from the bedroom to the lounge with no difficulty. The upstairs was great as there was a shower room for each bedroom. Me & my colleague had the twin room…those beds are the comfiest we’ve ever slept on! We stayed when the weather was extremely hot, yet the bedroom was nice & cool at night without needing to open the window. Kara and Ben are fantastic hosts, who go above and beyond to help you.

2022-07-19T13:40:21.000Z

Superb accessible holiday accommodation in fabulous setting. Cannot recommend enough. Lovely welcoming hosts. Nothing is too much trouble. This is a Yorkshire gem, so book now!
